Dear Sir:
The Town of Hemjistetid owns a 1 fir^^t, second, fourth and fifth jdaces, large amount of meadow land; also | winning the heifer and UK) cigars, about two miles of beach. This Jirop-j " ~
erty will become more and more valu-1 Friday able each year, and in order that the j I town may reajj the henetit its citizens' must display some interest in the mat¬ ter. I We think that no moiv leases should j be nuule until the lands are surveyed I and carefully ajijiraised, such ajijiraisa! to be the minimum rent. Then lease to the highest bidder at jnililic auction, under terms e-;tablishe(i by the Town Board, sjieiiflc and biisinesi-like.
Years ago the meiidow land was not valuable, and a system of leasing at very low rentals was adniitcd, which it is hard to change, without co-operation of the citizens and the Town Board. At Jiresent many desirable plots are tieil up for a long term at iiisignifictint rentals because of the value ot fifteen
